Focus- First Draft

Focus
That’s all we talk about in school
Focus on the prize and that’s what you will receive


Focus on being focused.
Focus on making that basket,
Getting an A on that test.
Goals that sometimes seem out of reach.


Though, what if the prize never comes?
We are never taught what to do if we never reach our furthest goal
If we peak.


Often, sadness is the first feeling that hits people.
And I say truly sadness is a state in life fully controllable.
By positively looking at a situation, positive outcomes will come.


The truth is maybe happiness is prize enough.
The smile we get on our face while staring into the starry night knowing we are loved by many,
The smile that forms when we are around close friends who make us laugh.
Or even pride.
Pride knowing we tried are best.


So focus,
Not on the prize
But on being happy.
